The cabinets are in! They are gorgeous, of course. CabinetDude had installed most of them by the time I got home Monday but then realized everything on the north wall was 1.5" to the left of where it ought to be. He could move the two floor cabinets by himself but he needed his assistant to move the wall ones, so he finished up yesterday, moving the upper ones and installing the crown mouldings. The toe-kicks will wait until we finish the floors.
I opened them pet them and pulled open their drawers and yeah, it was well-nigh sexual.
They are so pretty. They have umpteen shelves, all adjustable, and I think several of the shelf boards will live in a remote upper cabinet because we need three, not four, shelves. One thing is now that we have tingle-worthy full-depth drawers instead of shelves in the lower cabinets, instead of only a half-shelf, there is no space tall enough for the three-gallon stockpot. Woe is me.
They are so pretty. They throw into sharp relief just how ugly the walls around them are, and not just the walls scarred from chipped-off tile but the main dingy gray ones too.
We should have painted the ceiling (and the walls) before they were installed. We can still paint the walls, carefully, but painting the ceiling over the cabinets to the point you cannot see any old ceiling paint behind the crown mouldings is going to be tricky.
The counter people measure today.
